A lot of people may not know that real estate virtual assistants are making giant strides in the real estate arena. A realtor is basically involved in moving out all the time, showing houses to prospective buyers, meeting with new clients and pioneering the hosting of open houses – to mention but a few. As a result, they have little or no time for the demanding nature of paper work.

Typically, a real estate agent is involved in:

• Making phone calls to follow-up new leads
• Be on the streets trying to accomplish a sale
• Chat with clients

Real estate agents do more what have been mentioned above. There are tons of things that need to be done in order to be a successful realtor, and this is the part where offshore virtual assistants (VA) step into the picture.

Marketing

Marketing is among the key function that good real agent should be successful at. In essence, they will need to sell themselves to their prospective clients. It is impossible to get clients as a realtor without marketing yourself.

Virtual assistants are typically quite good at marketing, particularly when online marketing is involved.  Real estate agents can design and maintain their websites with ease through their virtual assistants. You can even have your VA accomplish telemarketing on your behalf.  It will only take a database and a good script.

Administrative Functions
Administrative tasks are very common duties performed by virtual assistants for realtors. They handle the administrative tasks that may take you the entire day or most hours of the day.  Most VA’s are experts when it comes to administrative tasks.

Virtual assistants can forward paper work to those who need them, and at the exact time they need them. VA’s can also accomplish the following tasks:

• Set appointments
• Manage database
• Arrange travel arrangements
• Process mails to clients
• Lead Management and Conversion

This is perhaps a virtual assistant’s most important function. Virtual assistants can help in lead conversion and management. As a realtor, there should be a consistent leads inflow; even with a steady flow of leads, you may not be able to manage and cultivate these leads, and they may eventually become stale.

Once leads are generated, your virtual assistant will call them up in order to enquire about their requirements and at the same time determine if they are serious buyers or sellers. if the lead qualifies, then your outsourced virtual assistant will forward the qualified leads to you sooner than you imagined. This way, you get to save valuable time processing unqualified leads – this can be pretty annoying!

That’s not all, you can still assign other tons of tasks to a virtual assistant. This professional will indeed help you accomplish better result and aid you in growing your real estate business.
